The Namibia national football team, nicknamed the Brave Warriors, is the national team of Namibia and is controlled by the Namibia Football Association. Although the team has good players, it struggle to get world wide recognition due to the corruption in the NFA. They have never qualified for the World Cup but have made two appearance in the African Nations Cup.
